Happy birthday MOM!

Dear family,

This week was pretty good. The weather is cooling off a little, but

not like in Utah. We still don’t have snow, but we will at some point.

I’m not really excited, but I am glad I have some of my winter

clothes, at least, thanks to you mom. 🙂

So we still didn’t have our baptism, and it is now not going to

happen. The lady is having a lot of trials in her life right now, and

she is trying to figure them out still, I guess. But we told her the

gospel will only help her. We’re still not really sure what to think

about her, because when she first met with us and was learning, she

loved everything we taught, and was willing to do all of it. But now

something is different and is holding her back from taking the next

step. But we will try to work with her still.

On Thursday, we found out that one of our recent converts, Becky, is

finally making it official with this guy that she has been friends

with for a long time, who was actually the one who introduced her to

the church. If they end up getting married, they will make such a cute

little Mormon family. 🙂 🙂 We are way excited for her. Also, on

Thursday, Sister Q. got sick with like 24 hour stomach flu or

something, because she was throwing up, and we didn’t really get any

work done that day. I felt really bad for her. I didn’t really end up

getting it, but on Friday one of our Elders got it too. So there was a

lot of sickness going on here. But I’m still good so far. 🙂

On Saturday, we were doing service for one of our kind of

investigators, and she was mowing the lawn, while we raked and swept.

The lawn mower picked up a rock or something, and shot it out at me,

and it hit me in the leg. It was going like 80 miles an hour, and when

it first hit, I didn’t know what had happened. Then my leg just

started hurting really really bad. I just rubbed it a little bit, and

continued on. Then later that night I was looking at it, and it gave

me a pretty gnarly bruise. It was crazy. It got me pretty good. But

it’s okay. Also, on Saturday night, I think there was an earthquake.

Sister Q. and I were laying in bed getting ready to go to sleep,

and my bed started shaking a little. I thought it was Sister Q.

messing with me or something. Then all of the sudden she says, “Dude,

where are you?” And I said, “I’m right here.” She’s like, “Oh I

thought you were over here moving my bed. I was like, “I thought you

were shaking my bed. We both thought it was each other shaking the

other one’s bed, but it was actually just everything shaking. We

didn’t really know what happened with it, but the next day we saw all

of these semi sonic crews working around the area, so we don’t really

know what is going on. But whatever.

Yesterday, we had stake conference. It was awesome. President S.

(our mission president) was supposed to speak, but something came up

so one of his counselors spoke instead. But he did a great job. It was

cool too because we had some investigators there. We are pretty

excited about them, because we are thinking that they will go places.:)

That was basically our week. We did find this awesome family last

week. We are supposed to have a family home evening with them tonight

with some members. So we are excited about that too. 🙂

Dad: Oh man. I love that movie “The Other Side of Heaven”. Although,

the missionary work I do here in Texas is not really the same type, it

is still pretty cool. Sister Q told me that she saw that movie before

she was a member, and she didn’t even know it was about a missionary

from our church. She just thought he was a missionary in general. That

is great that you are staying busy too. That is also cool that

Grandmother bought that toy for mom. She really is great. 🙂

Emerny: Hey seester! I’m sorry about you being tired all the time. I

still have that a little. Not like I did before though. It’s a lot

better if you have medicine, especially if you have hypothyroidism.

But that is good that you are getting it checked. It will help a lot

if you need medicine. I’m really glad that you already realize how the

gospel blesses our lives. It took me a little while to realize that

myself, but now I know it more than ever. 🙂 If you aren’t married

before you are 21, you should definitely consider serving a mission.

It is awesome!

Well, I gotta go now. I love you all so much. Have a great week. 🙂

Love, Kelsey
